Joe Allen, owner of Joe Allen Restaurant, Orso Restaurant and Bar Centrale donated 50% of the Dec. 8 proceeds from all three restaurants to Save the Children for the organization's Typhoon Haiyan Children's Relief Fund to benefit children affected by the super typhoon in the Philippines.

The three restaurants total raised $10,000 to donate, and then a regular at Bar Centrale matched the amount that Bar Centrale raised so the total that will be donated to Save the Children for their typhoon relief is $12,500.

Save the Children gives children in the United States and around the world what every child deserves – a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When disaster strikes, they put children's needs first.
